MR ROBINSON'S RESIDENT
"You don't even miss me that's why
you've not called for two days"
Sandra continued on the phone with
David who laid on his bed.
"No, that's not true" David replied.
"But i miss you. I just wish they call
off the strike"
"Me too coz it's getting bored here"
"Aright.." both remained silent.
"Make sure you call me tonight
before going to bed" Sandra added.
"Okay, bye" the line went off then
David kept his phone thereby
resuming back to his thought about
Udoka. He kept reciting her name in
his heart staring at the ceiling.
**
At the resident of Mrs Williams, the
twins sat on the bed silently after the
incident. Udoka placed her hand on
Monica's shoulder reasoning why
her sister fell down for no reason.
As she wanted to ask why, Monica
said, "This is becoming serious"
"What's that?" Udoka stared at her.
"I saw the same thing again"
"What thing?"
"The Dark Forest and the bright light.
It was brighter than initial"
"When did you see it?"
"The time i fell down"
Udoka exhaled deeply and said, "So,
it's no more a dream but..."
"A vision" Monica interrupted then
silence took over. Their minds
wandered up and down critically.
After some time, Udoka stood up
angrily facing her sister. "Listen
Monica" she began. "Mother must
take us to Ndiogoro. He must take
us to our father's village coz things
are getting out of hand! I can't bear
this anymore! Who knows the
meaning of what's happening to
you? I never knew my father, why
can't i know where he comes from.
I'm tired!"
Meanwhile, Monica had started
shedding tears since she was the
emotional type. "Udoka, I'm scared"
she said thereby increasing her
tears.
Udoka went back to her and
embraced her warmly. "Don't be
scared, nothing will happen to you"
she consoled her.

8:50pm
Monica and udoka had eaten and
done other things, yet their mother
had not come back home which got
them worried. Monica laid on the
cushion while Udoka sat on the bed.
She glanced at a wall clock and the
door occasionally hoping to see her
mother walk through it. She wasn't
looking happy at all! Suddenly, the
door cracked opened and Mrs
Williams entered then Monica sat up
immediately. "Mother?" she called
with a tender voice. She stood up
and gave her a welcome hug then
returned back to her seat.
"Welcome mother" Udoka greeted
without looking at her mother.
"Why are both of you looking very
moody?" the mother asked but none
of them said a word.
"You never told us you'll be going
out today" Udoka looked at her.
"Yes mother, we were so worried
about you. Where did you go to?"
Monica added.
"I went to see some people" the
mother replied then walked to the
bed. All remained quiet until she sat
at the edge beside Udoka. "I hope
you've eaten" she said but the twins
kept quiet.
"Mother, you're taking us to our
father's land tomorrow or next"
Udoka spoke up.
"Shut up!" the mother shouted at
her.
"Mother, i won't shut up!" Udoka
stood up angrily.
"Chineke! Udoka, you're raising your
voice at me"
"I'm sorry mother but i can't bear
this anymore! You must take us to
see our father's land"
"But i just told you we cannot set
foot there!"
"I don't care!"
"Chineke!" the mother exclaimed.
"Why do you even want to go
there?" she asked.
"To see my father's own house, land
and the Dark Forest probably" Udoka
replied.
"You must be out of your mind!"
"Mother, something is wrong
somewhere! Ask Monica what
happened to her this evening"
Hearing that, Mrs Williams looked at
Monica. "What happened to you my
daughter?" she asked then Monica
told her. "God, what type of
problem is this?" she began to cry.
Monica couldn't bear to see her
mother's tears, so she began to cry
too but Udoka didn't care. She stood
at the door without even being
moved emotionally but when she
saw her sister's tears, tears ran
down her eyes too. She whipped it
off immediately.

Back to David's room, his
concentration was totally on the
laptop. He was actually on Facebook
searching for the name 'Udoka
Williams' to know if he would see
her image. Suddenly, his phone
rang-Sandra was calling again.
"Ooh, i have forgotten to call her" he
murmured as he picked the call.
"Hi, Dave. You've not called as i told
you" Sandra sounded on the phone.
"Hum.. I'm sorry, but I'm not ready
to go to bed yet" David said.
"Okay, but i can see you online now.
You don't even want to chat with
me"
"No dear, i have been searching for
something that's why.."
"Something?" Sandra interrupted
Where?"
"Online"
"And what could that be?"
"Hum.." David scratched his head.
As he wanted to speak, his mother
entered the room. "I'll call u later" he
hung up the call.
Mrs Robinson the mother was a tall
woman with a slim body typoogy.
She had a dark complexion and a
pitch voice.
"Welcome mum" David said.
"How are you son?" the mother
asked smiling.
"Fine, mum"
"Won't u use this strike period to
visit ur grandmother in the village?"
"No, i don't want to go to Ndiogoro
now, mum" David replied...
